How much does the code using the Socket depend on its 'interface'? 
Perhaps it would be happy with (say) just getInputStream() and 
getOutputStream() on an already connected Socket.  If so, then perhaps 
you can connect to the proxy explicitly, send "CONNECT" yourself, and 
parse the response header.  If all goes okay, hand the socket as is over 
to the 'using' code, and it won't know the difference.
